Beautiful circa 1850s 1/6 plate daguerreotype depicting an elegantly dressed Victorian woman in exceptionally sharp focus. She wears a finely detailed white bonnet, a fashionable multi-layered dress, a draped shawl, gloves, and lace-trimmed cuffs while resting one gloved hand on a covered studio table. Her refined clothing, confident pose, and composed expression strongly suggest a woman of wealth and higher social standing.
